On today's podcast I am happy to be hosting Ian Fraser, author of "Shredded: Inside RBS, the Bank That Broke Britain".

On the podcast we talk about the point at which RBS turned in the wrong direction, leadership incompetence and whether any issues were learnt from the catastrophe which broke Britain. 

Ian Fraser is an award-winning journalist, commentator and broadcaster who writes about business, finance, politics and economics. He has written for titles including The Economist, Financial Times, The Sunday Times, The Times, Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, Independent on Sunday, the Herald, Sunday Herald, BBC News, Thomson Reuters, Dow Jones, Accountancy, CA Magazine and Citywire.

His book, Shredded: Inside RBS, The Bank That Broke Britain, published in June 2014, explores how and why RBS, the world’s largest company by assets at the time of its collapse, became the world’s most expensive bank to bail out. The book — based on extensive interviews with more than 120 current and former RBS insiders, advisers, politicians, and others — was longlisted for the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year and has received positive reviews including from FT chief economics correspondent Martin Wolf.

Since March 2009, Ian has worked on programmes about the global financial crisis and its aftermath for the BBC. These have included RBS: Inside The Bank that Ran Out of Money, (a one-hour documentary that was shortlisted for Bafta), Trust Me I’m A Banker for BBC Scotland Investigates, Carry on Banking for BBC 1 Panorama and seven Radio 4 ‘File on 4’ documentaries (including Badly Behaving Bankers).
